Brighton's summer signing Florin Andone will finally make his bow for the club on Friday in a reserve game.

The Romanian striker arrived at the AMEX from relegated La Liga side Deportivo La Coruña in the summer. However, a groin injury means that he is yet to feature since the season began, and has only been on the field for 45 minutes for Brighton in a pre-season friendly against Nice. His return will be good for Glenn Murray and Jurgen Locadia, providing even more competition. Furthermore, Hughton is excited by the prospect of using Locadia to get in behind and stretch opposition defences in a way his other forwards can't. The options bode well for Albion as they try build momentum to survive another season in the top flight.

Tottenham did not make it look pretty, but were able to score on the final touch of the game with a goal from Harry Winks to edge Fulham, 1-2.

It's never too surprising for a man named Harry to save the day for Spurs, but instead of the injured Kane, it was Winks who provided the heroics. Fulham were pesky all evening and took an early lead courtesy of a Fernando Llorente own goal. The Spanish striker would struggle as Kane's replacement, missing a couple of big chances in front of goal. Tottenham would finally level the score six minutes into the second half, when Christian Eriksen supplied his typical accurate ball into the area for Dele Alli to head home. Bad news would hit late, when Alli was injured and left Spurs a man short as he was receiving treatment. With seconds left in stoppage time, Spurs made one final push and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou crossed one in from the left to find Winks for the diving header. The club escaped happily with three points but the match certainly shed light on the need for Daniel Levy to do some transfer shopping.

Ryan Babel was put straight into the starting XI but his debut for Fulham was spoiled as Tottenham would score on the final kick of the game in a 1-2 loss.

Everything was setting up for a special day at Craven Cottage. The crowd was vocal, Babel showed some flash when on the ball and Fulham would go ahead first on 17 minutes. Jean Michael Seri sent a corner into the area and the Cottagers were the recipients of an own goal by Fernando Llorente. It was as good a first half as one could have hoped for Claudio Ranieri, but the intensity began to wane in the second half, and Spurs would get an equalizer in the 51st minute. Ryan Sessegnon, who made way for Babel in the XI, came on as an impact sub, but there was no impact to be had. Thinking a draw was imminent perhaps a moment too soon, Fulham's day was ruined by conceding a last-second winner.

After a rocky patch, Manchester City makes it four wins on the bounce after beating Huddersfield to the tune of a 3-0 scoreline.

Playing their first match without David Wagner at the helm, Huddersfield came in and gave everything that they had. Unfortunately, when you're at the bottom of the league, everything you have can't hold up versus City. Danilo would open the scoring in the 18th minute but overall, Huddersfield was able to hold City in check in the first half due to an organized defensive plan.
But as they do, after the half, City came out and quickly put this one to bed. Leroy Sane would set up Raheem Sterling in the 54th minutes only to have Sergio Aguero set him up in the 56th minute. Huddersfield would have their chances once Steve Mounie was brought on but he skied the best chance wide of the net with his final touch of the match. City will march on, waiting for Liverpool to slip up, while Huddersfield with count their days until relegation.

The Gunners scored a major victory winning 2-0 over Chelsea at the Emirates.

Unai Emery's side, under pressure after a string of mediocre performances, came through with a massive win over top four rival Chelsea on Saturday. Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny scored the goals and the Gunners held the Blues to a single shot on target despite conceding the majority of possession.

Mauricio Sarri will be even more eager to bring in a new forward after his Blues were impotent at the Emirates.

The Blues dominated possession against Arsenal but could only muster a single shot on target and no goals. The Gunners are no pushovers at home but if the Blues want to stay in the top four then they will need to get Gonzalo Higuain, or a similarity talented forward, into the fold ASAP to give Eden Hazard the foil he needs to return to the wide role he is most effective in.

Crystal Palace will feel hard done by to not come away with at least a point after scoring three goals against Liverpool.

Crystal Palace got off to a great start with the opening goal in the 34th minute when Wilfried Zaha blew by his defender and found Andros Townsend for the easy goal. But Liverpool pulled two back immediately after the halftime break and took the lead before James Tomkins' header in the 65th minute saw the sides even at two goals apiece. But that's when Liverpool pulled away with a second goal from Mohamed Salah and a stoppage-time goal from Sadio Mane that proved to be the difference after Max Meyer also scored a late stoppage-time goal.

Manchester United were made to work for their 2-1 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United took the lead through Paul Pogba midway through the first half. The World Cup winner won the spot-kick by drawing a foul from left-back Gaetan Bong and place his penalty to the right at waist-height beyond the diving Button. United doubled their lead just before the interval through Marcus Rashford, who beat Pascal Gross with a nice piece of skill in the box before placing the ball high into the far top-corner. Pascal Gross brought the visitors back into the game with a finish with hit the crossbar on its way in. The Seagulls gathered momentum and put a lot of pressure on United but the Red Devils held on to maintain OGS' perfect record since taking charge.

From the unlikeliest of sources, Newcastle saw its five-match winless streak come to an end in a 3-0 win over Cardiff City.

The action started in the 24th minute when Fabian Schar found the ball at his feet from just outside the penalty area. The Swiss center-back dribbled into the box with ease and put away his first ever Premier League goal to give the Magpies a home lead. It turned into a day to remember for the summer signing when Schar scored his second goal of the game when a flick-on off a corner fell right to him at the back post as Schar knocked it in with his thigh. And then in the 93rd, Newcastle added a third goal for its highest output of the season when Salomon Rondon juked his defender and found Ayoze Perez for the final goal, bringing the club out of the relegation zone.

James Ward-Prowse scored the pick of the bunch as Southampton beat Everton 2-1 at St. Mary's.

The Saints had the best chances of the first half as Danny Ings twice tested Jordan Pickford between the sticks for the visitors and Nathan Redmond also saw a driving effort deflect off the post. They made amends for their profligacy in style early in the second half as JWP drove a fine finish into the top corner. The lead was doubled courtesy of an own-goal by Lucas Digne soon after, as the French full-back's attempted tackle on Redmond found its way into the net. Gylfi Sigurdsson did pull one goal back for Everton in injury time but it was too little too late from the Toffees who end the evening in 11th place. Southampton notch up two consecutive wins for the second time in 2019 and move up to 15th.

Watford enjoyed a slight edge in possession and shots on target but couldn't do much with it as they and Burnley drew 0-0.

The Hornets are a tough side to figure. Their last loss to a non-big six club came on December 1st. While they didn't lose to Burnley,a home draw with no goals feels like and opportunity lost to push forward in the table. For fantasy managers, the lack of consistency is maddening when trying to get a handle on expectations for Hornets players.
